After meeting up at the school, you will be taken to a local market to buy your ingredients with Kenina our resident chef. Then return to cook all the dishes that you’ve preselected from the menu, the day before. All dishes will be cooked fresh and consumed by yourselves. If you choose to take away, that’s not a problem, BUT sitting with locals that are bilingual and eating your Vietnamese food in the traditional manner is always a good part of the experience. Kenina will offer up basic historical facts and traditions to ensure that you always use the correct sauce/dip and table etiquette that you wow your friends with on your return home. With years of experience of cooking for a large hungry family, you won’t be disappointed.
